spieling
Giving sales talk
Spieling is talking at length, usually in a glib or persuasive manner.
Someone spieling is delivering a spiel—a rehearsed pitch or patter: The salesman was spieling about the car's features before I could get a word in.
The word carries a slight implication of insincerity or practiced smoothness.
